I didn't lie to my wife when I promised I wouldn't "buy

I still keeping my word. Technically I didn't "buy" another 02, but this guy "offered" it to me and then I felt so moved with emotion that I "offered" him to paint his 1990 s-10 pickup. This is not considered lying, right? Well the car is 76 with a bad head gasket, perfect Recaro seats front and back, perfect dash, door trim panels and center console, 15 alloy wheels and who knows what else... Quaife is going to get a new interior!!! The 76 will be running and on E-bay sans goodies in 3 months... no lie

I made so many "fortunate discoveries" and "good deals" related to mu Bimmer addiction that she now scrutinizes my every 02-related move ;-)

Also, after 23 years of living with an '02 freak, she has a pretty good idea of what everything is worth.

There's a big difference between buying a car and buying a little bitty batch of parts. And it's very convenient to purchase parts that are stored as an assembly, rather than loose in boxes.

"I would have bought the nice one, but that would have left me no money to buy you this" (hand her box w/ CZ earrings)

I remember the ONE AND ONLY TIME my beloved was actually turned on by my working on cars, and getting all greasy. This was about 4 years ago.

She no longer shaves the truth or lies about how much she spends at Target, or shoe shopping. I've come clean with MY car expenses...so she figures anything goes - right?

The last car I bouthg while she was out of town - and I simply explained that it was SUCH a good deal, it would have simply been IRRESPONSIBLE for me NOT to have purchased it!

....so far...so good. Honesty has worked well so far! ;-)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
